As adults, we can all recall our own experiences as a teenager, including both moments that we would happily revisit and others we would like to forget. Could you imagine being a teenager today? Could you imagine if every one of these moments were recorded and shared on social media?

Spotlight on: Fresh Eyes

18 March 2022

Fresh eyes can see things we overlook or have become distanced from. Each year, new students and staff come to Queenwood and see it through a new lens. There will be new people, buildings, routines, priorities and rituals and it is natural to compare this to previous experiences.

Spotlight on: Women's Voices

11 March 2022

When the Year 1 girls sang I Can Be Anything in a recent Assembly and each student went on to share the profession she’d like to pursue in the future, it seemed that nothing could get in the way of their goals.

Spotlight on: Self Leadership

11 February 2022

Self-leadership is the key to the change we need to see. Our girls are acutely aware of the changes that have beset their world over the past two years; even the younger girls speak about the constant adjustments required to adapt to current expectations and guidelines. A rapidly changing world has become a reality.

Each school year marks another stage in the journey towards independence. This is most obviously seen in Kindergarten, as their life outside the home becomes more dominant, and in Year 12, on the cusp of adulthood and all its responsibilities. But in fact, it is true for girls of every age.
